Sculptra
What is Sculptra?
Sculptra is an injectable made from poly-L-lactic acid, or PLLA, a plant-derived material that has been used in medicine for decades. It is not a dermal filler. A filler adds volume the moment it goes in, and that volume is the product itself. Sculptra adds almost nothing you can see on the day. Instead it prompts your own fibroblasts to produce fresh collagen, and it is that new collagen, made by you, which does the work. The product itself breaks down and leaves the body entirely. This is why Sculptra is a course rather than a single appointment, and why the result appears gradually over months rather than on the day.

What are the benefits?
Because the change comes from your own collagen rather than from a gel, Sculptra suits gradual overall loss of firmness rather than one defined line. It can provide excellent results for:
-
Loss of Firmness: Rebuild structural support in skin that has started to feel softer and less resilient.
-
Mid-Face Volume Loss: Restore gradual fullness through the cheeks, where the face tends to flatten first.
-
A Tired Appearance: Refresh a face that looks drawn or flat even when you are well
-
Crepey, Thinning Skin: Improve the quality and thickness of the skin itself, rather than simply filling a line.
-
Early Jowling and Laxity: Support definition along the jaw and lower face as it begins to soften.
-
Natural, Gradual Change: A refreshed look that develops over months, so there is no single day where you look different.
